I think folks should come to the realization, that even with a healthy Sidibe, it's not going to elevate us that significantly.  He was healthy all of last season, and we were still on the outside looking in relative to the Dance. I understand that the last 6 games of the season was his best relative to production consistency, and certainly respectable, but not game changer type status IMO.  Moreover, he has dealt with injuries the majority of his time on the hill, with this latest setback, who knows what his actual production will be whenever he does play.  I imagine the mental toll has to weigh on him quite a bit as well, in addition to what he may be feeling physically.

Besides the perennial 5 spot dilemma we have had contributing to our new normal (6 years and counting) of mediocrity, moreover, we still lack the required level of play needed consistently at the game's most critical position, lead guard. Not to mention, due to our exclusive 100% zone system, how it double whammies us relative to our defensive deficiencies.

Whether Richmond is the guy to break us out of this drought who knows, but JB apparently doesn't have enough confidence, etc. in Richmond to turn the team over to him. Therefore, until that time, or we have someone who can run that position at a high P5 level, it'll be more of the same...wash, rinse & repeat.
